Glutathione is a tripeptide. It contains an unusual peptide linkage between the amine group of cysteine and the carboxyl group of the glutamate side chain. Glutathione, an antioxidant, protects cells from toxins such as free radicals.
Glutathione is one of the body’s key antioxidants. But beyond the effect of glutathione serving as a powerful antioxidant, it does a lot of other things: it allows for the regenesis of other antioxidants, like vitamin C and vitamin E; it plays an absolutely critical role in the liver in a process called Phase II Detoxification, where things that reside in the body are excreted (and in our very toxic world, having healthy amounts of glutathione available for the process of detoxification is critically important); glutathione is important for the way the body repairs tissues; and it also plays a fundamental role in the entire immune system.
“For years, people have been banging their heads against the wall trying to develop a delivery system for glutathione, whether it was encapsulated in liposome, delivered in a suppository, inhaled, rubbed on the skin, developed as a patch…you name it and people have tried it and have largely, almost universally, failed at it,” said Dr. David Perlmutter, Neurologist, LifeVantage Scientific Advisory Board member, “And then along came Protandim. The elegance of the science behind Protandim is indisputable."
What is so elegant about Protandim is that it doesn’t worry about delivering glutathione to the body. In fact it does not deliver any glutathione to the body. There is no glutathione in Protandim. But the science of Protandim is such that is able to speak to a body’s DNA and unlock the DNA Code to allow the body to make its own glutathione! In fact, clinical studies have demonstrated Protandim increases glutathione levels 300%.
“The science of Protandim is elegant and impressive in its simplicity and its effectiveness and clinical efficacy is a marvel,” Dr Perlmutter said. “I think the best is CLEARLY yet to come…Protandim in just in its infancy. There is going to be a global impact of the product.
Dr. Joe McCord, a co-author of the study, commented, "The results of this study may change how we view aging and the factors that impact healthy aging. Notably, glutathione, which is of particular interest to many disease researchers, was increased more than 300 percent with Protandim. Glutathione plays a key role in the immune system and when glutathione levels drop, a person's ability to fight disease also decreases. In addition to the findings on glutathione, the study also shows that Protandim delivers an antioxidant benefit to the body that exceeds those provided by vitamins C and E." McCord added, "Contrary to popular belief, our bodies don't actually rely upon the intake of vitamins, such as C and E, to maintain proper antioxidant balance; rather we utilize a complex network of antioxidant enzymes to maintain health and protect against oxidative stress. Oxiidative stress is damaging to our bodies and is a major contributor to aging, weakened immune function, and over 200 diseases. Protandim reduces oxidative stress by enhancing the body's entire network of antioxidant enzymes." The study was conducted by scientists at the University of Colorado Denver and Ochsner Medical Center.
The natural ingredients in Protandim were specifically chosen based upon their ability to cause the body to produce and up-regulate its natural network of antioxidant enzymes, including SOD and CAT. Protandim has been formulated using high quality, potent natural plant extracts processed under proprietary technologies. It therefore provides powerful antioxidant protection against oxidative stress.

TRUESCIENCE ANTI-AGING CREAME Eposure to the sun, chemical toxins, and the free radicals released in the digestion process combined with the natural deceleration of your skin's ability to fight free radicals leave your skin without a fighting chance. The end result—aging, oxidative stress and less than beautiful skin. TrueScience anti-aging skin cream applies cutting edge science to battle aging externally and contains the ingredients of Protandim, found to prevent cell damage internally. TrueScience gives skin a beautiful, even and smooth tone, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, and provides a vibrant and glowing appearance. Kimberly Stone, M.D and leading Denver-based board certified dermatologist declared, "I believe that LifeVantage TrueScience is a key complementary product to Protandim. The ravages of aging have a variety of causes and battling them at both the cellular and external levels is very important to long term health." How It Works This new, proprietary skin care formula was developed in association with Kimberly Stone, M.D., a leading Denver-based board certified dermatologist, and was formulated with more of the ingredients known to protect the skin from the bombardment of factors that contribute to aging and the symptoms of unhealthy skin. The TrueScience proprietary skin care formula includes: Hydration/Moisturizing: TrueScience features a Lamellar Phase Emulsion System that forms a liquid emulsion barrier for superior moisturizing without a thick, oily feel. Moreoever TrueScience also contains extracts of sandalwood, phellodendron bark and barley, all of which deliver exotic fatty acids to retain the body’s natural moisture and produce a high-end moisturizing effect. Finally, it also features sodium hyaluronate, which is a superior moisture-binding agent that can balance moisture levels at the surface of the skin. Toning/Brightening: The turmeric extract in TrueScience is specially modified to remove the majority of yellow compounds without reducing the effectiveness of its potent curcuminoids. Curcuminoids have been shown to produce a gentle skin lightening that even dispigmentation. Additionally, the leucojum aestivum bulb extract slows the spread of melanocytes, which contribute to uneven skin coloring. Wrinkles/Fine Lines: The palm peptides and leucojum aestivum bulb extract in TrueScience are all shown to visibly reduce signs of wrinkles and fine lines. They may also help promote a thicker epidermis and dermis for less skin transparency for improved tone and texture. All-Inclusive: Unlike most other skin care lines, the TrueScience anti-aging cream eliminates the need for an extra eye cream due to its wide ranging benefits. Lipid Rejuvenation: TrueScience delivers multiple ingredients, including sandalwood oil, phellodendron bark extract, barley extract and a proprietary blend of glycolipids, soy phtosterols and hyaluronic acid to mimic the naturally occurring lipid structure in the skin and retain the body’s own moisturizing lipids. Testimonial...After Just 30 Days “OK, I'm going way out on a limb here to share with all of you... I was given samples of the new TrueScience Lotion. I decided that I wanted to be able to see if the lotion made a difference. I was used to spending literally hundreds of dollars per month on a complete skincare routine called Obagi. The results are with TrueScience are quite remarkable. I have done nothing different than to apply TrueScience twice daily. This is the best smelling, most wonderfully textured lotion I have encountered. And it has Protandim in it! What more can we ask for? Carol B.
